The police force of Chester Township certainly does its part in making our
community a safe place to live. The citizens, however, are beginning to also
play a major role in helping law enforcement. In order to solve crime and address
social concerns, the police department will start to work together with the
people of our township. Starting Neighborhood Watch programs is the best way
to do this, as they are referred to as the, “Eyes and Ears” of law
enforcement. In this program, neighbors will look out for each other as well
as their property. They will also report suspicious activities to the police
department.
For this program to work to its full potential, the people of the community
need to unite and become motivated to reduce crime and improve society. The
students at West Geauga High School can do their part in helping the law enforcement
officers by reporting any illegal activity that they hear about. In order to
report any concerns or start a Neighbor Watch Program, please contact Sgt. John
Barco at (440)729-9446 ext. 113, who is the head of the programs.
Let’s have all of the people of Chester Township work together to make
this place the safest it can be! No one likes to live in an unsafe community,
which is why it is so important for every member of our Township to work towards
keeping each other safe. It is for the good of our lives, our neighbors’
lives, and our entire community!
